Pape, Mr. and Mrs. William (Golden - 25 January 1961)

Mr. and Mrs. William Pape of Route 1, Owen, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary recently.

The William Papes were married in Davenport, Ia., on January 25, 1910.  Her maiden name was Minnie Ploog.  Later they moved to Clinton, Ia., where Mr. Pape, was employed with the Northwestern Railway Company.  They also lived for two years in Belvidere, Ill., before coming to Clark County in 1914. They lived in Owen for four years, and in 1918 moved onto their present location, north of Owen.

Four children were born: a son, Edward of Wausau; Mrs. Jens (Irma) Miller of Cadott; Mrs. Russel (Cleo) Dearth of Prentice; and Mrs. Harold (Clara) Schoffer of rural Owen.

Mr. and Mrs. Pape are now retired on their farm home and still enjoying excellent health.
